KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) The 10 assistants and the strength coach on new Tennessee football coach Jeremy Pruitt's staff will make a combined annual total of nearly $6.5 million.

Friend was Colorado State's offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for three years. Johnson was most recently Memphis' passing game coordinator and receivers coach. Niedermeyer was Alabama's assistant director of recruiting operations last year.

Rumph was Florida's defensive line coach the last three years and was co-defensive coordinator in 2017. Kelly spent the last four seasons at Florida State, including four as the Seminoles' defensive coordinator. Fair, a former Tennessee player, has coached Colorado State's cornerbacks the last three years. Rocker most recently was Georgia's defensive line coach from 2014-16.
